Drivers travelling a main route between Merthyr Tydfil and Cardiff have complained that their journeys have "doubled" after road works were completed. Last week the Welsh Government completed a resurfacing of the A470 southbound approach to Abercynon roundabout, which is widely used by commuters.
Following the work, users of the road told WalesOnline how their journeys were disrupted by heavy traffic, while traffic lights appeared "out of sync". In response to one driver's complaint, the Welsh Government said the work saw the traffic sensors temporarily removed which led to the lights working "less efficiently". The driver was reassured that sensors would be re-installed on March 10, however the issue continued, causing many to be late to work and appointments.
In response to a social media post, Ashleigh Jones-Lester said: "I live in Merthyr and work at Treforest [Industrial] Estate. It's been taking me over an hour to get into work in the mornings! I contacted them last week...The works were due to be completed Friday, but not happened."
